By Tropical Storm Jangmi has maintained its strength while moving northward outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the state weather bureau PAGASA said on Thursday.
At 10 a.m., Jangmi was spotted 1,135 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas, with maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h and gustiness of up to 80 km/h. Moving north northwestward at 30 km/h, Jangmi will enter the PAR on Thursday night or early Friday morning.
“This weather disturbance is less likely to make landfall over the country. Due to the eastward shift of the latest forecast track, the hoisting of a tropical cyclone wind signal over Extreme Northern Luzon is becoming less likely but not ruled out.”
